Please add new entries at the bottom of a thread of the appropriate section, and add your signature with time stamp. You can find older, now obsolete sections and texts in the Discussion page.
Open tasks for users
- I present here some tasks that users can do
In Knowledge base:Gardening & Gardening courses - Almost all of these pages are in a preparatory stage, especially the content in 'Chunks of information.'
- You can help finding External links for all pages in the knowledge base. Most Wikipedia links have already been added, but for plants you can for example search A modern herbal by Mrs. M. Grieve and add links to the appropriate page on this site.
- You may also add photos to the Gallery on each page, provided that you use photos that are your own or free of copyright. When you add photos, please add the 'License' for using the photo. You can use the text of how i license my photos (see this page) or pick your own or add the license given with the image in case you got it elsewhere on the internet. I've put all my photos in the public domain but request to add a link to this site to the published photo. In that way we can attract more traffic.
- You can perform minor edits. If the edits are major, please discuss this or propose this in the Discussion that goes with each page and make a note of this on my User talk:John page.
- You can also add information to the 'Chunks of information' section. Later these bits of info will be used to write the final page.
Courses we're presently working on
- Main article: Overview of courses
Basic structure of this site
Training courses + Knowledge base <p\>I would like this website to be focused on presenting study courses. In addition to a course, a knowledge base can be made to present extra information that is easily accessible. See Gardening courses for how i do it. I am open for any suggestion to improve this structure. --John Eagles 08:36, 24 December 2011 (PST)

Eagle Rock Wiki:Embedding videos
- Is this possible? How? I only found this page about it in Wikimedia, which says that embedding of videos is not yet possible, but they are working on it. Multimedia
"This page discusses how to improve the multimedia content of Wikimedia projects, through content, policies, and improvements to the MediaWiki software. For now, the main focus is audio, but videos may become more common shortly, so they should be borne in mind in any strategy we come up with."

Embedding video
I have added an extension to the MediaWiki software that allows pages to embed video and I've also created a page http://eagle-rock.org/index.php/Eagle_Rock_Wiki:Embedding_Video with sample codes for various formats.
The extension is called EmbedVideo (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo)
Security
This extensions opens a vulnerability to Cross-site scripting attacks that potentially allow the website to be hijacked. The extension creators say the solution is to strictly validate user input and/or apply escaping to all characters that have a special meaning in HTML.
I have asked Steve to help with this as he manages security on our server. This page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting has a list of escape functions that can be implemented site-wide.
This page from the Open Web Application Security Project shows snippets of HTML that render untrusted data harmless https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Abridged_XSS_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.
Using EmbedVideo
Code with examples for embedding video can be found here: http://eagle-rock.org/index.php/Eagle_Rock_Wiki:Embedding_Video

Thanks Charles, it works well!
